Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 46 rue du Général-de-Gaulle in the Faou is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its facades and roofs were protected by ministerial decree in 1951, highlighting their heritage value. The building, once located under the address rue de la Mairie, illustrates the traditional civil architecture of this Breton municipality of Finistère.

The Faou, located in the district of Quimper, is a town marked by a rich historical past and a preserved built heritage. Old houses, like this one, often reflect the urban and social evolution of the region, between port, craft and agricultural activities. Their protection contributes to the preservation of Breton architectural identity, in a context where the city centres are undergoing modern transformations.

The 1951 inscription is part of a period of heritage awareness in France, aimed at safeguarding the remarkable elements of the vernacular building. Although the available sources do not specify the exact time of its construction, its style and location suggest an integration into the ancient urban fabric of the Faou, between tradition and modernity.
